Standard options for integrated systems
At CIS Oncology we offer a number of integration options which will enhance the operation of your organisation’s workflow system and ensure real-time data for clinicians, pharmacists and nurses.
Having worked first-hand with the wide range of clinical systems within the NHS, we understand the unique requirements of these. Our technology is therefore designed to ensure a constant flow of information between ChemoCare and the system you have in place. We currently use HL7 and SOAP Web services to deliver fully integrated data transmission within our software.
Suitable for use across a range of hospitals, ChemoCare can easily handle multiple patient numbers, displaying the PAS numbers for each hospital as well as a national number. The hospitals simply supply the relevant information and our system does the rest.
Patient test results are sent automatically from the Trust Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) to ChemoCare so clinicians can see these as soon as they’re available and then take the appropriate action.
ChemoCare can save time on gathering important patient information and enhance the accuracy of this, without duplication, by integrating with a Patient Administration System (PAS) or Electronic Patient Record system (EPR). This means all data is retrieved digitally, without the need for manually entering the information into the system.
We can provide:
- Real-time patient look-up using HL7, Web service SOAP, SQL or ODBC.
- A drip-feed of registrations and/or updates.
- Data on patient subscriptions to other clinical systems for targeted updates and notifications.
Suitable for use across a range of hospitals, ChemoCare can easily handle multiple patient numbers, displaying the PAS numbers for each hospital as well as the National number. The hospitals simply supply the relevant information and our system does the rest.
Discharge documents can easily be shared with internal systems or external third parties thanks to our standard HL7 discharge summary option, which gives an overview of treatment given, protocol used, course of action taken and details on the drugs/dosages prescribed.
To meet a growing demand for transferring drug usage into different organisations stock control systems, we have developed technology within ChemoCare which sends a list of drugs to a third party pharmacy system as soon as it is prepared.
Once a patient is registered on an A&E system, our A&E alerting tool can quickly trawl through the ChemoCare data and immediately let staff know when that patient last received chemotherapy. This is an important tool in helping healthcare professionals manage neutropenic sepsis within their cancer services, as it’s important that they’re alerted when a chemotherapy patient presents with acute side effects.
With this element of our technology, ChemoCare records all patient appointments from each part of the hospital where they are receiving treatment, ensuring more efficient patient scheduling.
Once an appointment is created, modified or removed, this option within ChemoCare will immediately notify other systems within the hospital, ensuring up-to-date, accurate records.
ChemoCare ensures that all information on patient appointments, prescribing and treatment is kept up-to-date and fully integrated across systems, which can be easily viewed during audit. The data can also be stored externally, beyond the main SQL database via a RESTful API WellSky Integration, which provides a portal window within ChemoCare.
